The rationale is straightforward: if the employee is healthy, he is likely to be more energetic and alert at work and at the same time, have less health-related issues and take less medical leave. These in turn, all other things held constant, lead to a higher output per worker. Yet equally important is the financial health of the employee. Through anecdotes by HR Directors and Managers in Singapore, it is apparent that financial distress is encountered by the employee and has a direct impact on the employer. By implementing an employee financial wellness programme, organisations can improve the financial capability of their employees as well as achieve their organizational goals. Through this learning day, we hope personnels can learn: - understand ways to help staff who are in debt. - best practices from organisations who have implemented financial education programmes at their workplaces. - how to access to free and unbiased financial literacy education programmes FREE Registration Date: Wednesday, 7 May 2014 Venus: Singapore Polytechnic, The Hall @ Staff Centre Address: 500 Dover Road, Singapore 139651, Gate 3 Registration Mode: 1) Online Registration www.finlit.sg/events 2) Email Please email your full name, organisation name, contact numbers and designation to [email protected] 3) Registration Form - please fax this form to 6590 2706 Name: Designation: Organisation: Email: Telephone: Supported by Contact Us Tel: 68708383 www.finlit.sg Organised by
